Taycans on trackdays Spa Francorchamps 🇧🇪

[tigerbalm]

Great thread. ?

Just wondering how they charge the 2.1mw lorry?
I am thinking it's probably not from a home plug socket ?

Looks like – the company that makes the trailer – ADS TEC Energy – also make the 350kW chargers that are rolling out at Porsche Centres.

And interestingly – the white cube you see near each set of chargers is battery storage – to deliver a faster charging rate than perhaps the grid connection supports.

Here is us charging in Baden-Baden in Germany during the autumn:

I've be wanting to track my taycan, but very limited by lack of DC charging at most tracks here in Canada. Don't really fancy driving 3-4 hours to a track and only have enough juice to do 1 lap. We need that charging truck!

I have been there once long ago to see my one and only F1 course. First thing I saw was Michael Schumacher in his Ferrari going up Raidillon. Very impressive sound of the engine.

It’s charged from the net with a huge cable.
Due to the poor grid in Wallonie, they could only recharge aboutb35% of the 2.1 mwh during the night. The truck that drove the lorry was with diesel. Had that comment on linkdin from someone ?

I grew up only a couple of miles from the Terlamen track at Zolder. As a kid in the seventies, I often biked over there because practice days - even for F1 - were free to attend at the time. Unfortunately, Zolder is not nearly as impressive a track as Spa is, but at least the biking was easier....

Could you post it on YouTube and then provide us with a link?

This battery is to provide the charger an extra capacity, so it gets 140 kw from battery and rest is grid, most of time to slow. They need to restore it on monthly bases.

You can rent them, 50000,00 euro for a weekend.
